Constantly on the hunt and suffering from hallucinations that drive his violent nature, an unnamed man is capturing women and savagely beating them to death. Meanwhile, a woman is luring men into a violent end, by way of her knife. Driven by the same force to make the opposite sex suffer, the killers’ fates intertwine. The two must face off in a battle to the death, in which they are forced to reveal the horrible truth behind their addiction to murder.
“Brutal” takes an interesting approach to its visuals, drawing heavy influence from Western “Grindhouse” films, using a filter to make the footage appear grainy, damaged, and with light and color fluctuations. Unfortunately, the visual styling ends up feeling misguided, as other than applying the filter it does not imitate any other aspects of the “Grindhouse” genre. Despite trying to dirty up the film, it is apparent it was shot on digital. The cinematography is also a step above most “Grindhouse” productions, with Takashi Hirose proving he has talent behind the camera. Exterior shots to those taking place in small spaces are all competently framed, lit, and transition well. The decision to add an effect on top of the work hurts the film’s imagery and even gives a sense of desperation to try to capture a certain type of nostalgia with the audience, instead of relying on its own strengths. It is unfortunate when one creative choice can hurt a production so much.
The story of “Brutal” is simple but effective, it does attempt some sort of social commentary about the violent nature of men and women, but it does not offer enough depth into the subject to justify the amount of violence on display. The film does end on a strong note with an interesting twist, with a reveal that is bound to gross some out, while giving others a chuckle. In spite of its simple nature, those who enjoy films that make them somewhat uncomfortable and enjoy the challenge of getting through some ultra-violence, “Brutal” poses a fun and entertaining challenge in that regard.
即使容颜老去，但在我心里，你还是最初的模样。爱过的人没办法远去，记忆里的你温暖美丽。

现在霓虹也学会了😓
所以就随便写写。整体是一部让你看的下去，不会跑神的电影，大概3.8分吧。
但是错过了终究是错过了
很治愈。希望每一位孤独的人都好好看看自己的身边的人，你一直都是在爱的环境下成长的，只是你还没发现别人对你的爱而已。就像电影里的主人公阿真一样，是他自己害死自己的。他的父母，他的哥哥，他的青梅竹马，都是爱他的。不用为了那些不喜欢他的人而自怨自艾，而是要为了你爱的人和爱你的人而坚强地活下去！不要随意轻生！这不值得！还好这部剧的阿真，同时也是小白，遇到了灵魂管理员，给了他100天的思考时间，找到了真正的死因，让阿真重新回到了人间，可以继续活下去，真好！
非常日式，如果是我 我可能也会崩溃吧，更痛苦的还是家里人
我也想轰轰烈烈地过完一生，然后有尊严地死去。
中岛老师演技真的有进步诶，但这个头型我真的不可，女主就……算了，不如看配角，b太和由纪都棒棒！从剧情到各方面都土土的，放到纯爱类里面都只能算中等偏下，死亡调色过曝滤镜，（人就算了但）樱花的美完全没有表现出来啊这铺天盖地的五毛特效令人心梗…
中岛老师sexy byebye。这悲剧稍微有点不太沉浸，开头甜的部分wo还挺能get。
好爱好爱夏洛特·兰普林，会努力成为这样的酷奶奶💪
略微牵强了，好在色彩明亮剧情紧凑，此外演员多少有点丑……
夏洛特兰普林太有魅力了，不是那种老人的端庄的魅力，是那种邪气的充满性张力的魅力，没错，76岁也是可以这么闪光的，耀眼的让人甚至不惧怕衰老
也没什么导演魅力
绝症恋爱的设定比较平庸，治病导致的家庭影响细节还挺真实的。松本穗香特效装有牺牲，中岛健人依然演技捉急。
所有的挣扎与释怀，都可以让酒冲服下去，不管是日出还是日落，让这杯杜松子酒生生不息；兰普林一出场，“午夜守门人”的霸气充满屏幕；导演如此深谙情绪，不知不觉中随着音乐泪涌眼眶…真TM高级
虽然很简单的一个温馨的片子，也就是一个很简单的人物故事，但却通过晚年的奶奶把奶奶一生的性格都描绘的淋漓尽致。像兰普林这样又美又飒，又有自己的性格，又有品位的奶奶，谁又不希望拥有呢？最后的镜头落在那个半杯杜松子酒上，泪目…
看到最后半小时:奶奶跟孙子坦白弄坏腿跟他弄坏车一样只是因为她想引起家人关注，三代人有着三代人各自的烦恼与经历，每个人做决定的时候也许或多或少会忽略掉身边人的感受，沟通是多么重要，无论什么年龄都会渴望家庭的温暖，可也不排除像我这样觉得安于现状是最舒服的，最后一程哪需要什么固定模式，生不择日，死亦如此
不仅仅是部纯爱片，虽然剧情大致类似套路
剧本很不错。男女主演也很用心，情感戏很不错。 中后段有点拉胯。 3.5星
